An alternative subtraction scheme for NLO QCD calculations using Nagy-Soper dipoles

Abstract

In this work, we briefly report on the current status of an alternative subtraction scheme which is based on the splitting kernels of an improved parton shower prescription. Our focus is here on more recent developments as well as generic arguments on the scaling behaviour.
